Like, sexually?
He's a bottom now.
Did he tell his son?
His son can infer it next time he compares search histories.
He’s filming it for Matt Gaetz
Probably
MAGA Turns on Speaker Mike's Johnson.
Yes
If so then Mike's son will have a really awkward conversation him.
Not as much as his sons browser history
These people are unfit to govern.
Good thing that isn't their goal then.
Look, if punching any progress on its face, fixating on genitalia, pissing on your own constituents, punishing the disenfranchised for being disenfranchised, and alternately praising and then eating your collaborators doesn't demonstrate ones ability to "govern," then I don't know what does. You talking to me that way sounds an awful lot like an insurrection.
The problem with this comment is some people could say this word for word with zero irony lol
I’d just like to say your username is fantastic and i wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
You can catch it anywhere downwind
That was never their goal. Their only goal was to destroy democracy, and they’re doing a pretty good job of that.
Jake Sherman: “The House is essentially frozen again. The GOP leadership cannot bring up any bills that are not already noticed on the suspension calendar and conservatives just killed leadership’s ability to bring up any bills under a rule.“
The Clownshow is back.
It never left honk honk
Watching the party call MAGA Mike Johnson – the guy who they hand chose because he was as MAGA as they come – call him a RINO because he couldn’t unite their basket of rabid weasels is just
Now he can get back to his first love, beating off to Internet porn that his kid is also watching.
That teenage boy definitely has a way around that stupid software. He's probably watching videos of mature, hairy ladies peeing and beating off right now. And he will be accountable to noone!
They want a government shut down because they think it will damage Biden. They want chaos because it lets them spread conspiracies and lies. This guy doing the bare minimum to actually do his job is a betrayal to them.
The hydra feeds upon its many heads, hurting itself in the confusion but somehow does not die
Can the Republicans just have their party schism already? The MAGA crowd took over the RNC leadership years ago, just admit it and make a new party - or better yet clean house and oust them from your ranks.
Because anyone thinking of leaving the RNC understands how the game is rigged for them and the DNC, and any new party has pretty much no chance. And they also know that if they kicked the crazies out (if they even could), the only thing left of the party would be a husk. The crazy base is their power source right now.
Agreed that the entrenched duopoly is no accident, but we also don’t have a Federalist party anymore either. The popular support eroded beneath them due to poor policy choices/outcomes, and that faction was politically homeless for years, and decades before they formed a new and coherent party structure with longevity. Which itself was enabled by the patronage and spoils that soured voters on the Jeffersonian-Democrats.
Adapt or die, it’s no different in biology or politics
To be clear, I'm not saying it can't happen (and it seems like it will eventually), but nobody in either half is surviving that split, and they know it. They're stuck with each other as they careen off this cliff.
I suspect that this is still the future, but it's hard to know when it will actually happen. They've gone extreme enough that a lot of people are looking for the next conservative party.
The Libertarian Party has about 700,000 members and is on the ballot in all 50 states. I've been imagining a hostile takeover for some time.
That would be hilarious. If there's one thing most Americans seem to be able to agree on, it's that libertarians aren't worth voting for.
Most Americans have voted for a democrat since 2004. So that's probably true.
Right wing groups have subsidized and aided the Libertarians and Green Party for years. They know that GOP voters will stick with the Party, and that Left folks can be persuaded to try something new.
I've always thought a Libertarian is just a Republican trying to sleep with a Democrat - or vice versa.
They're already clearly a coalition party as evidenced by the speaker elections and budget votes.
Nah a coalition is people voluntarily working together on purpose. The present day Republican Party is a hostage scenario - the moderates might want out, but don’t dare leave the fundraising & media machine behind if they do escape
Man I hope they vacate him, too. Only need a few more Republican resignations and the Democrats can take over this year...
To me he always looks like one of those old, colorized photos, or maybe a ventriloquist dummy. Maybe it’s the rosy cheeks, I dunno.
Holy shit, I completely see the ventriloquist dummy resemblance, that is haunting
The anonymous social media MAGA account @catturd2, which has more than 2 million followers, criticized funding for Ukraine included in the deal.
"Blah Blah Blah Blah—you just gave 62 Billion to Ukraine. You don't give AF about our border," they wrote.
These people are the most miserable excuses for humans imaginable. Seriously, why are they so batshit insane? Is it just right-wing media, or are we looking at some kind of nanoplastic syndrome that affects the red states disproportionately?
It's specifically BECAUSE they are miserable but unwilling to look at themselves or their own lives. Rather, they project outward and search for the "real" cause of their problems, who they then hope to persecute.
This is the same for all extreme groups: incels, sov cits, tankies, PETA, and, yes, GOP/Evangelical types.

Cat. Turd. 2.
We are truly living in the dumbest timeline.
Perfect headline, no need to change.
Wow, how unexpected. Never saw this coming...
"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
"What are these leopards doing to our faces???"
- ~~Diseased morons~~ Conservatives
Broken democratic mechanisms and a split conservative party? Surely this doesn't proceed a fascist dictatorship...right?....RIGHT?!
Let. Them. Fight.
This is what MAGA wants as leadership? Laughable and pathetic.
